Coastal 'Drive and Thrive'
Travel down the south east coast toward the Arabian Peninsula, passing by the town of Qurayatt and on to Tiwi, one of the oldest villages in Oman. Tiwi is full of magnificent buildings and lies right on the coast overlooking the beauty that is the Arabian Gulf. We pass by a sinkhole before we head up Wadi Shab for a soft trek to our picnic spot. We then sit down for a delicious picnic and allow time for a dip in the crystal clear waters of the wadi before hiking back down to the 4x4.
'Sandy horizons' - Wahiba Sands
An early departure from Muscat along the Nizwa road with a stop at Wadi Bani Khalid for a short hike and swim. Enjoy a delicious picnic lunch on arriving at Wahiba Sands before taking a trip on the dunes in the 4x4. Also try Sand-boarding and other desert activities before heading back to Muscat as the sun sets across the Hajar mountains.
Magnificent Mountains
Experience the beauty of the Hajar Mountains. Day tour of Jabal Shams ('Mountain of the Sun') home to Oman's 'Grand Canyon' and highest peak; plus the Jabal Akhdar mountains. Trip includes picnic lunch, short hikes in the mountains and a visit to Tanuf.
Dolphin Delight and Snorkeling
Our boat tour takes you on a trip into the Arabian Gulf to watch the majestic dolphins spin and glide their way through the water alongside the boat. We then make our way to Bandar Khayran for snorkeling - home to many different species of fish. We offer you the option of having a barbecue on the beach before heading back to the Marina and your hotel.
Discover Scuba
Experience the beauty of scuba with the help of an instructor at your side. Start with a few shallow dives before going into the ocean to gaze at the underwater world.
